The cap I have on my chimney is not great -- it's very heavy, and does not have good airflow.
I'm in Tahoe, lots of snow, so the gable top is nice, but is it necessary?
What I want:
The chimney top is 60" x 30.5"

What I want:
- easy cleaning access
- less creosote buildup / more airflow
- Material? My sweep told me SS is the way to go, but aluminum would be appealing
